About the Book

At the dawn of the new millennium, Australia is at crossroads seeking redefinition of its identity. Its traditional commitment to the Western alliance system with its recently evolving inclination to seek an identity in the Asia Pacific has placed the island country in a blind. Overarching these are the forces of globalization that impinge on past norms of geography and politics seeking revisions in its policies and postures. Poised thus on the "hinges of history', Australia's 'true place' in the comity of nations is yet to be etched anew. Australia's emerging Souci political architecture with its pronounced accent on multiculturalism has drawn the attention of a number of countries including importantly India. In the fast changing international scenario after all, it is in India's interest to discover areas of potential engagement with countries where there are prospects of a mutually beneficial relationship.
